Nice one Nelson, a very thorough All My Loving there.....I like how you explained John not playing the full chords also. A great treat for us musicians interested in learning from these fantastic songs on the forum. Thanks again.

Thankyou Nelson, I found your Baby It's You tutorial on youtube, I a pleased to discover I should learn it in a quater of an hour, simple chords, simple changes, simple strum. Which is all good for a simple guy like me.

I wonder if, around 1:10, the chord is actually called C augmented, rather than Cm7 augmented, since there is no Eb or Bb in the chord? I believe what you actually play is perfect, just wondering about the naming.

Thanks for the spanish.It's funny the way that you write.I think that you laugh with my english too

Oh! in some site this chord is named Eaug

Saludos

Never, sir!

To the best of my knowledge, an E aug (E-G#-C) has the same notes as a C aug (C-E-G#), has the same notes as a G# aug (G#-C-E), they are just different inversions of each other. I think there may only be 4 truly different augmented chords:

1) The one that has a C in it (like the three chords we just named, with the notes C-E-G#, with the three different names), 2) The one that has a C# (with the notes C#-F-A; named C# aug, F aug, A aug, respectively), 3) The one that has a D (with the notes D-F#-A#; named D aug, F# aug, and A# aug, respectively), 4) And the one that has a D# (with the notes D#-G-B; named D# aug, G aug, B aug).

I've usually seen it used as a 5th chord on the way back to the root chord - like the first chord in "Oh, Darling".

I have to say, I have never seen an augmented chord used in the fashion these guys did in that song (All My Loving). If I had to guess, maybe it's an old music hall technique Paul heard from his father when he was growing up and his father played in bands. Any body else have any thoughts on the use of the augmented chord in that fashion?
